Thank you Ken,

That answered my filtering questions ! As I have already got the account Id
(from the online-accounts plugin) I can just pass it to the StreamModel
(which I'll be using instead of DeeListModel).

I see this model also publishes the columns by id (eg. column_1) as the
DeeListModel did, it would be nice if there was a more appropriate naming
for the properties...

Thanks again,
Hugo.
